Quick post - got in walk today on the treadmill … was raining on and off today. Made me think that I will really need to consider how to change up exercise when the weather gets cold. I am not loving every day treadmill... but also not loving winter walks outside!!

Still time to plan.
Have been having for dinner most nights a random bowl of veggies (cooked + raw) and starch. Have been loving roasting on parchment paper a cookie sheet of veggies (like tonight was red bell pepper + portabella mushroom), preparing a starch (rice, potato, corn), adding a couple of handfuls of raw veggies (onion, jalapeno, bean sprouts, etc.) and splashing with a bit of low sodium tamari. So easy. If too many veggies, I save them to eat for breakfast or lunch the next day.
Went to the International Market today - and am always impressed with it! So quick to shop there! About 1/3 of the space is dedicated to produce. That's mostly what I buy there - so can navigate through in about 10 minutes. Also, can pick up the beloved LaCroix in various flavors. They have a $.99 cent rack - which I have been buying about 1-2 items / trip. Today was cauliflower, so will be roasting this tomorrow with Frank's Red Sauce.
Probably hanging out here more to keep myself mindful and on plan through various challenges. I am feeling positive, but not "sparkly"..
I have found that this way of eating has provided some much needed mental clarity - which helps to not just "lose it" and be able to think out of the box to solve problems. With my work challenge, was able to come up with an approach - AND get alignment - to chunk some of the (late) ask together and then to ask for help from others after taking it to a certain point. So, basically - turned 900 things into 100 -- and then parsing out with a dummy script and some specifics, where needed. I have stifled my gut response to be resentful of being "cleanup crew" and assigned something huge with infeasible turnaround time. With the outsourcing thing, have been supportive and confident. There is plenty of time.

"Raindrops keep fallin' on my head,
And just like the guy who's feet are too big for his bed,
Nothin' seems to fit,
Those raindrops are falling on my head,
They keep falling...
So i just did me some talking to the sun,
And i said i didn't like the way he got things done,
Sleeping on the job,
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head,
They keep falling...
But there's one thing, i know,
The blues they send to meet me,
Won't defeat me,
It won't be long 'till happiness
Steps up to greet me...
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head,
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red,
Crying's not for me,
'cuz, i'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because i'm free
Nothin's worrying me
Nothin's worrying me...
But there's one thing, i know,
The blues they send to meet me,
Won't defeat me,
It won't be long 'till happiness
Steps up to greet me . . .
Raindrops keep falling on my head,
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red,
Crying's not for me,
'Cuz, i'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because i'm free
Nothin's worrying me
Nothin's worrying me..." - B. J. Thomas
